We have always been warned not to have many sexual partners because of the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. But studies show there is a scary new ghost that follows you from your sexual partners.

The University of Seattle and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has released a new study that revealed that women absorb and retain living DNA of the men they have sex with. A little frightening right?

The scientists were trying to determine if woman who had been pregnant with a son might be more vulnerable to diseases usually found in men. The study found two things: first they found that women can absorb DNA through her lifetime that can change her overall appearance and health. It has even been noticed that woman with more sexual partners look different than they used to. The second implication is that single mothers have DNA from the children residing permanently within their bodies. The same goes for when a man reproduces with a single mother. The new offspring will retain DNA from the mother’s precious child.

According to Rossv.com, if a woman absorbs Y-chromosome genes from male sperm via sex, it would easily explain why a woman with high notch counts exhibits more masculine traits. French biologist and philosopher Felix Le Dantec mentioned this topic in 1899 in his work “Individual Evolution, Heredity, and Neo-Darwinists.” He mentions several facts that demonstrate Telegony.

He wrote about a farmer that told him once his swine copulated with a boar and their pigs resembled the father in color. However, when the same swine copulated with another boar some pigs of the second farrow still resembled the color of the male pig the swine had first copulated with. He explained that Lord Morton who first interbred a mare and a zebra and formed a hybrid. The next time he interbred the same mare with a horse, and the colt still had lines that resembled the zebra.

Research suggests that a man who is considering reproducing with a promiscuous woman should even interview her past lovers. He should become more familiar with her past lovers because their genes will be additionally passed onto his offspring.
